Journey Among the Kurds of Turkey
Written and Performed by Diane Edgecomb
March 14, 2016, 8PM
An unexpected encounter with a young Kurdish refugee sets an American storyteller on a quest of danger and discovery to bring to the world the ancient legends of this oppressed people. This is the deeply moving, richly humorous true account of one woman’s journey through the remote mountains of Turkish-Kurdistan in search of the last Kurdish storytellers and of the extraordinary people who shared their lives and their stories with her.
“There’s one world, but one thousand doorways.”
-Kurdish saying
